Big Al, (My Cousin):
You will be missed, but you will be remembered. I will cherish all the joyful memories of you and will always keep you in my thoughts forever. The good Lord gave us 49 years of your life to enjoy and we shall not beg for any more as we shall not question the motive for His judgement. With those grateful years we spent with you, we shall be appreciative of the life time of memories that will last forever.

You will be missed! Cousin.
Cousin, you will be missed!!

Love You, and will always keep you in my memories.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Our prayer is that you be comforted by the Word of God; for if you continue in His Word, then are you His diciples indeed and ye shall know the Truth and the Truth will make you FREE!!!!

A Reminiscence

YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.

May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;

To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.
